#51054: faust-devel, faust2-devel, faustlive-devel: update to latest upstream source -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: aggraef@… | Owner: macports- Type: update | tickets@… Priority: Normal | Status: new Component: ports | Milestone: Resolution: | Version: Port: faust-devel faust2-devel | Keywords: haspatch faustlive-devel | maintainer -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by aggraef@…): Good point. In fact, I've done something similar for Arch Linux. I can port this package over to MacPorts at some point. The `faust2faustvst` script already knows about all the common SDK locations (including some under `/opt/local`), so once the VST SDK package is ready, the script will be able to work with it without any further ado. But in any case this shouldn't be a mandatory dependency. The `faust2faustvst` script is just one among many helper scripts included in the Faust distribution. It's by no means central to the proper functioning of the package, it's only needed if the user actually wants to create VST plug-ins using Faust. There are other helper scripts which require other special 3rd party software to work which aren't in the dependencies either (and shouldn't be, IMHO). Typically, a Faust user will only use a small selection of these helper scripts, if any at all. The central component of the faust/faust2 packages is the Faust compiler itself, and the packages have all the necessary dependencies to make it work. Therefore my suggestion would be to just commit the packages from this ticket as they are, and I will then provide a package for the VST SDK when I find the time.
